1/Having trouble remembering how to differentiate dementias on imaging?
Is looking at dementia PET scans one of your PET peeves?
Here’s a thread to show you how to remember the imaging findings in dementia & never forget!

2/The most common functional imaging used in dementia is FDG PET. And the most common dementia is Alzheimer’s disease (AD).
On PET, AD demonstrates a typical Nike swoosh pattern—with decreased metabolism in the parietal & temporal regions

3/The swoosh rapidly tapers anteriorly—& so does hypometabolism in AD in the temporal lobe. It usually spares the anterior temporal poles.
So in AD look for a rapidly tapering Nike swoosh, w/hypometabolism in the parietal/temporal regions—sparing the anterior temporal pole

Nothing New 🧵
Evil is not new. At some point in the ageless past where perfect harmony once existed — Lucifer rebelled against God.
It wasn’t enough for him that he dwelt in heaven with the LORD God as the anointed cherub.

We read an allegory in Ezekiel of Lucifer’s fall in a story about the literal king of Tyre, who fell as well.
“Thou sealest up the sum, full of wisdom, and perfect in beauty…
“Thou sealest up the sum, full of wisdom, and perfect in beauty…

I was reading an article in Hindustan Times about the Thane Ring Metro project, and it unintentionally highlighted how weak and underprepared much of the opposition to the project actually is. Many of the arguments being put forward reveal a limited understanding of urban planning, transit capacity, and the long-term mobility needs of a rapidly growing city.
A recurring claim is that the Thane Ring Metro is a colossal waste of public money. Yet very little attention is paid to what Thane is expected to look like over the next 50–70 years.
The city is already witnessing significant residential and commercial growth, and its transport infrastructure must be planned not just for present demand but for future demand as well. Judging a metro project solely on today's travel patterns ignores the realities of urban expansion.
One of the most common alternatives suggested by critics is a larger bus network. However, buses and metros are not interchangeable. Even a substantial increase in bus fleet size cannot match the capacity, speed, reliability, and efficiency of a grade-separated metro system.
Buses remain an important part of urban mobility, but in high-density cities they function best as feeders to a larger rapid transit network rather than as its replacement.
Some opponents also argue that roads, freeways, and projects such as the Coastal Road can adequately serve future travel demand. This raises a fundamental question: should Thane aspire to become a car-dependent suburb, or should it evolve into a transit-oriented city?
Mumbai's success as a major urban centre is deeply linked to its extensive public transport network. Building Thane around private vehicle usage would create a mismatch with the broader metropolitan region and ultimately weaken connectivity rather than strengthen it.

Protestors often point out that the Ring Metro passes through dense neighbourhoods. In reality, that is precisely the point of the whole project.
High-capacity transit is most effective when it serves areas where people actually live and work. High-density development without high-capacity mass rapid transit systems inevitably leads to higher car ownership, more congestion, increased road expansion costs, and greater safety risks.
One question to by asked to these protestors is:-
"What is the solid plan that you have for the city, the growing needs of people, the under-capacity bus systems, and for the diginified transport for people of Thane?"

There is also criticism regarding transparency and public consultation. Constructive public engagement is important and should always be encouraged. However, some demands being made are for information that is already publicly available through project documentation and official project resources.
Consultation should focus on improving implementation, station access, environmental mitigation, and multimodal integration rather than attempting to derail a project altogether.
The argument that the project overlaps with Metro Lines 4 and 5 also misunderstands how metro systems function. Interchanges are not redundancies; they are essential features of successful transit networks. Every major metro system in the world relies on overlapping corridors and transfer points to expand the reach of the network. The Ring Metro's intersections with Lines 4 and 5 are intended to create seamless connectivity, strengthen feeder relationships, and improve access to railway stations, bus depots, and key destinations across the city.
The Versova-Andheri-Ghatkopar line when forming an essential interchange at Central Railways Ghatkopar, Mumbai Metro Aqua Line at Marol Naka, Western Railways at Andheri, Mumbai Metro Red Line at Western Express Highway, Mumbai Metro Yellow Line at DN Nagar doesn't create redundancies for some reason. But metro protestors expect the opposite in Thane for some reason, as if Thanekars are not used-to travelling via these modes of transport.
Another criticism quoted in the article is that the project resembles a "roller coaster" and fails to address connectivity gaps. However, the very purpose of the Ring Metro is to address Thane's internal connectivity gaps, the same which the protestors absolutely ignore to see because it does not serve their agenda to derail the project.
Thane is not a small town that can be adequately served by a single metro corridor. It is a large and growing urban centre with multiple residential and employment hubs. A circular route connecting different parts of the city provides mobility options that a single radial line never could.

This morning in Khallet al Hummus:
Soldiers arrived on privately owned Palestinian land following a settler incursion, then confiscated sacks of wheat harvested by the landowners, tore them open, scattered the grain, and threatened the residents.

Less than a year has passed since the prosecution filed an indictment against Shem Tov Luski, who was suspected of trespassing, assault causing bodily harm, and aggravated injury. The incident described took place very close to Khallet al Hummus
yet this does not prevent soldiers from assisting him as he trespasses. The soldiers even borrowed a knife he carries while trespassing and used it to destroy Palestinian grain sacks.
America wants a weak China AND a weak India.

• Go to SMBmarket,com
• Filter for $500k-$1M price
• Look for $10k+/mo cash flow
• Verify all the business financials
• Apply for an SBA loan (covers 90%)
• Potentially get a private investor to help cover the 10%

I own 8 businesses at the time of writing this.
Some were full acquisitions, some I just took equity, some I brought on partners, etc.
But this creative financing structure opens the most doors for people getting started.

Is it forbidden for a husband to wash his wife after her death?
No. It is permissible for a husband to wash his wife after her death, and for a wife to wash her husband after his death.
This is supported by authentic reports:
• Asma’ bint ’Umays (RA) washed her husband Abu Bakr (RA) when he passed away.
• ’Ali ibn Abi Talib (RA) washed his wife Fatimah (RA) after her death.

Me realizing why Allah did not destroy Satan (Iblis) the moment he disobeyed
Me realizing…
He refused a direct command.
He disobeyed out of arrogance.
He was expelled from Allah’s mercy.
A creation once elevated among the angels became a symbol of pride and rebellion.
And Allah could have ended him instantly.
But He did not.

But instead, Satan asked Allah for respite until the Day of Resurrection, and Allah granted his request

Not because he was honored.
Not because he was needed.
But because this life was never meant to be without a test.

The hidden reason you're chronically tired and fat loss feels impossible:
Poor mitochondrial health.
They decline as you age but they literally power every single cell in your body and burn calories.

Poor mitochondrial health.
They decline as you age but they literally power every single cell in your body and burn calories.
Here are the 9 most powerful supplements to boost them:🧵
1. Methylene Blue
It acts as an alternative electron carrier in your mitochondria, boosting ATP production when normal pathways are damaged.
The result?
- More energy
- Sharper focus
- Faster fat oxidation within hours
Start with 5-10mg in the morning.

2. CoQ10.
It powers the electron transport chain inside your mitochondria where fat is converted into usable energy (ATP).
Without enough, energy production crashes and fat oxidation stalls.
Aim for 200-400mg daily of the ubiquinol form for absorption.
